ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH
Ecosystems are critically important to our well-being and prosperity as they provide us with food,
clean air and fresh water and they maintain a livable biosphere. Consequently, it is increasingly
considered to be of crucial importance that ecosystem services be included in decision making for
policies that affect the use or the state of natural resources. New biodiversity policies that have
been adopted at global and EU levels have set targets to safeguard biodiversity and to maintain the
supply of ecosystem services. In order to achieve biodiversity targets, changes in policies affecting
natural resources must be shown to be benecial to human well-being through the enhanced ow
of ecosystem services. Investments must also be prioritised and made cost-effective based on
a sound knowledge base and reliable assessment methods. This study carried out case studies
to help explore how such assessment methods might be developed at multiple spatial scales,
in particular for pollination, recreation and water purication. The spatial assessment of these
ecosystem services carried out in this study includes maps that display the potential and actual
supply of these services in both biophysical and monetary units. Scenarios were used to estimate
the changes in the ow of ecosystem services and the benets that could arise as a result of policy
changes. Our approaches show that the inclusion of the ecosystem services concept into policies
would allow for a systematic review of the consequences of policy measures for services beyond
conventional environmental assessments.

Summary
Mainstreaming ecosystem services in EU decision making processes requires a solid conceptual and
methodological framework for mapping and assessing ecosystem services that serve the multiple
objectives addressed by policies. The PRESS-2 study (PEER Research on EcoSystem Services Phase
2) provides such an analytical framework which enables the operationalization of the present scientifc
knowledge base of environmental data and models for application by the EU and Member States for
mapping and assessment of ecosystem services. This study is structured along three strands of work:
policy and scenario analysis, mapping and valuation. Linking maps of ecosystem services supply to
monetary valuation allows an analysis of the expected impact of policy measures on benefts derived
from ecosystem services.
The frst case study looks at water purifcation and demonstrates the three-step assessment cycle,
investigating the impacts of agricultural and water policy scenarios on the capacity of ecosystems to
purify water and on the benefts that are derived from improved water quality at different spatial scales.
In general, the conclusion is that greening the CAP, would improve water quality and increase the benefts
to society as measured via monetary valuation. Yet, reduction rates differed between the different levels
(EU and basin scale) suggesting that the assessment of policy measures is scale-dependent, which, in
turn, justifes our multi-scale assessment approach.
The second case study (recreation) presents evidence that millions of people visited forests several
times per year and they expressed their willingness to pay to continue doing so. The visitor statistics that
are used in this study confrm the usefulness of the ROS approach (Recreation Opportunity Spectrum)
to identify areas in terms of their accessibility and potential to provide recreation services. In addition,
PRESS-2 presents a spatial analysis of city population density and green urban areas.
The third case study regards pollination. Pollination services offered by insects such as wild bees and
bumblebees are essential to maintain crop production, in particular of fruits and vegetables. PRESS-2
demonstrates that the coverage and resolution of current datasets are already suffcient to map the
potential of ecosystems to provide this ecosystem service. However, future research should contribute
to better ecological observations of key pollinator species to include important drivers of pollinators
abundance in modelling and mapping approaches.
Europe has ambitious biodiversity and ecosystem services targets. Much of the ambition incorporated
in the targets rests on the premise that ecosystem services are dependent on biodiversity for which
there is indeed a substantial amount of evidence. Achieving biodiversity targets requires prioritizing
investments and making them cost effective based on a sound knowledge base and assessment
methods, which PRESS has contributed to. Our approaches show that the inclusion of the ecosystem
services concept into policies would allow a systematic review of the consequences of policy measures
for services beyond conventional environmental assessments. In order to be able to react and adapt to
new circumstances, consequences of policies must be continuously monitored and fexible in design.
Therefore, it is necessary to quantify goals and determine baseline levels describing what the situation
was before the measure against which progress is verifable. However, research is only one element of
the necessary efforts to restore natural ecosystems and to preserve biodiversity in Europe. Therefore,
the PRESS-2 team reiterates the conclusion of the frst report and calls for a broad collaboration of
all stakeholders involved, including researchers, policy makers, stakeholder groups and citizens, in an
integrated ecosystem services approach.
7 A spatial assessment of ecosystem services in Europe: Methods, case studies and policy analysis phase 2. Synthesis report
1. Introduction
The policy context
The concept of ecosystem services (ESS) is now integrated in current biodiversity policies at global and
European level (CBD 2010; EC 2011a). The policies describe how ecosystems and biodiversity are to
be incorporated into public and business decision making, and indicate where natural resources are
currently undervalued, and sometimes neglected. The inclusion of ESS into biodiversity policies is largely
the result of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA 2005) and the TEEB initiative (The Economics
of Ecosystems and Biodiversity 2010a,b). These studies have led to political acknowledgement (at the
level of the United Nations) of the concept of ESS and advocate for a better understanding of the links
between biodiversity, ecosystem functions, ecosystem services, their benefts and associated social and
economic values as part of human well-being.
In particular, the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 (EC 2011a) integrates the sustainable use of ecosystem
services as underpinning element of human economies which complements the non-utilitarian
conservation approach to biodiversity, thus contributing to the Europe 2020 targets
1
, in particular
through the resource effciency fagship initiative
2
. This initiative aims at building smart, sustainable
and inclusive growth for Europe. It establishes resource effciency as the guiding principle for EU policies
on energy, transport, climate change, industry, commodities, agriculture, fsheries, biodiversity and
regional development. In addition, the ecosystem service concept has been identifed as one of the
pillars of the assessment of impacts in the preparation of the 2012 European Commissions Blueprint
to Safeguard Europes Water Resources (EC 2012). Furthermore, restoring and preserving ecosystem
services is one of six priorities identifed by the rural development pillar in the new proposal for the
EUs Common Agricultural Policy (EC 2011i). Importantly, the EUs regional and cohesion policy now
recognizes the importance of investing in natural ecosystems as a source of economic development
aligning regional development targets with the Europe 2020 agenda (EC 2011j).
Much of the ambition incorporated in the targets and actions of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020
rests on the premise that ecosystem services are dependent on biodiversity. And there is indeed a
substantial amount of evidence demonstrating the dependency of specifc ecosystem services on
specifc aspects of biodiversity. However, there is still much to be researched and validated, both at the
experimental level and at the feld observation and measurement level (see e.g. Cardinale et al., 2012).
Much of the discussion on the relationships between biodiversity, ecosystem functions and ecosystem
services is confused because the relationships are considered at the level of these so-called container
concepts. Attempts to depict such relationships end up as a cloud of dots in a scatter plot. Another part
of the confusion stems from the often undisclosed assumption that biodiversity is best represented
by species richness, and subsequently suffciently represented by aboveground species only, and then
mostly vertebrates.
In Braat and Ten Brink (2008) it was suggested that mean species abundance of a cross section of
species of the ecosystem considered could usefully represent its potential to provide ecosystem services,

8 A spatial assessment of ecosystem services in Europe: Methods, case studies and policy analysis phase 2. Synthesis report
with provisioning services having often only one, and occasionally a few, targeted species above-ground
determining the service levels, and the associated economic values. But of course hundreds, if not
thousands of species, did their work, usually not recognized, below the surface (insects, nematodes,
fungi, bacteria). The regulating services are by defnition dependent on the functional dimensions of
ecosystems, and thus on the biological diversity of functional traits, and on key species in production
and recycling, and in providing structure and spatial heterogeneity. Finally, species richness is of course
a very important element of the cultural services, both as visible diversity components in space and
through time, and as identifable carriers of useful information, the common denominator of this class
of services. Some of these contentions have been substantiated by now (see Maes et al., 2012), others
are still being tested.
When mapping ecosystem services, the defnition of the service fow, its source stock and production
process, the choice of indicators, and by that the visualisation of the aspects of biological diversity of
the service producing system will have to become part of the meta-data of the maps (and possibly in the
legend). This is a still a major endeavour for most ecosystem services!
In the recent past it has become more evident to policy makers that nature-based solutions for social and
economic problems and challenges, e.g. using wetland ecosystems for water purifcation, food protection
or carbon storage, may indeed be more cost-effective and resource effcient than technical infrastructures
for enhancing resilience. Taking into consideration a probable future of decreasing resource availability
in Europe and worldwide, the protection of the fow of services provided by ecosystems would contribute
to delivering a sustainable, low carbon society and help progress towards the Europe 2020 targets on
climate and energy. Assimilation of the ecosystem service concept calls for the economic valuation of
ecosystem services and for a transparent incorporation into policy processes and decision-making. This
implies placing ecosystems and biodiversity at the centre of sectoral policies, integrating them into the
spatial planning of water and land, and making explicit the costs of ecosystem service degradation and
biodiversity loss as well as the benefts from conservation and sustainable use of natural resources.
The PRESS study
Mainstreaming natural capital and ecosystem services into policy and decision making requires a
scientifcally sound knowledge base, which should provide a better understanding of the complex
consequences of decision making of the private and public sector at different geographical policy levels.
Furthermore, a better understanding is needed of the ecological production functions and their specifc
relationships with aspects of biodiversity, which are at the basis of ecosystem services. The PRESS (PEER
Research on EcoSystem Services) project was conceived during the TEEB meetings in 2009 and started
in early 2010 to contribute to this knowledge base by advancing methods to map, assess and valuate
ecosystem services at multiple spatial scales
3
. The project has addressed some of the knowledge gaps
which stand in the way of performing a spatially-explicit, biophysical, monetary and policy assessment
of ecosystem services. The focus has been on Europe, the Member States of the EU and sub-national
regions. The starting point was the need to upgrade the knowledge base on land-use mapping to refect
the existing knowledge about ecosystem services and their social and economic values, and to better
inform policy design and decision making processes.

9 A spatial assessment of ecosystem services in Europe: Methods, case studies and policy analysis phase 2. Synthesis report
In the PRESS-phase 1 report (Maes et al. 2011) we demonstrated methodologies to map ecosystem
services. In particular, this report delivered models for mapping at different spatial scales the role of
ecosystems as providers of recreation to citizens and the function of river networks in providing clean
water. It demonstrated how the introduction of ecosystem services into biodiversity policy has resulted
in synergies and trade-offs with other policies regulating agriculture, fsheries or forestry, each of which
has strong impacts on biodiversity and conservation. The report includes an analysis of policy options,
which shows that the perception of which services are provided by ecosystems varies according to the
respondents, the geographical characteristics of the regions and the scales of decision making. This
suggests then the type of assessment that territorial managers need to carry out. Finally, we pointed to
the need for the development of hierarchical sets of ecosystem service indicators, following the SEBI-
2010 example (Streamlining European Biodiversity Indicators; EEA, 2010), but geographically explicit
and linked to the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2011-2020, and in particular the supporting Action 5 (under
Target 2) which calls on the EU Member States to map, assess and value ecosystem services on their
national territory.
Outline of the PRESS Phase 2 Synthesis report
This Synthesis report contains the results of the second phase of the PRESS project which has extended
the mapping and policy analysis with scenarios and monetary valuation.
Water purifcation (chapter 2) relates to the role ecosystems play in the fltration and decomposition of
organic wastes and pollutants in water, and the assimilation and detoxifcation of compounds through
sediment, soil and subsoil processes. In particular, this case study examines how scenarios of land use
change (as a result of a change in agricultural policy) and of river and wetland restoration affect the
biophysical fow and the monetary value of this service.
Both natural and managed ecosystems provide a source of outdoor recreation as people enjoy walking
in forests, watching birds in wetlands or hiking and camping in the outdoors. The recreation case study
(chapter 3) builds on maps that express the recreation opportunity spectrum which combines recreation
potential with accessibility to sites. The case study explores a scenario of expected demographic changes
and makes an assessment of the service fows.
Pollination services are mainly delivered by bees and bumblebees when transferring pollen between
fower parts increasing the probability of fertilization. Many crops are, to various degrees, dependent on
pollination to produce fruits. This case study (chapter 4) quantifes the relative abundance of pollinators
and estimates the contribution of ecosystems to crop pollination.
A literature based policy analysis (chapter 5) explores how EU policies and their implications at Member
State and local level affect the supply of ecosystem services or may lead to trade-offs.
With these three case studies and the policy analysis we aim to illustrate how current knowledge and data
on land cover, water resources, ecosystem properties, nutrient dynamics and climate can be combined to
estimate biophysical fows of ecosystem services and their associated benefts and social and economic
values. It is important to note that when we refer to biodiversity in this report, we do not only mean
species richness, but do imply all functional and structural aspects of the biological diversity of the
ecosystem discussed. As such, the PRESS project contributes to on-going initiatives that aim to increase
our knowledge on ecosystems and to integrate them into the common implementation framework (CIF)
of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020.
This Synthesis report of the main results and achievements of this study is accompanied by a Technical
report which presents and documents the different approaches and methodologies that have been used
and reports extensively on the results.
11 A spatial assessment of ecosystem services in Europe: Methods, case studies and policy analysis phase 2. Synthesis report
2 Mapping and assessment
of water purifcation services
at multiple spatial scales
Policy messages
Water purifcation is a crucial ecosystem service as the self-cleaning capacity of wetlands, rivers,
streams and lakes results in the provision of clean water for multiple uses. This service averts
costs for society, since the treatment of mainly diffuse pollution is diffcult using technological
solutions only.
The water purifcation study demonstrates the full assessment cycle by investigating the
impacts of agricultural and water policy scenarios on the capacity of ecosystems to purify water
and on the benefts that are derived from improved water quality at different spatial scales.
Biodiversity cleans streams: the more biodiversity a river holds, the faster nitrogen is removed
from the water (Cardinale, 2011). Although this PRESS study was not able to upscale this
experimentally derived observation to the scale of river catchments, biodiversity was considered
at ecosystem level, since the high nitrogen removal rates of wetlands are accounted for in the
models.
The scenarios of greening of the Common Agricultural Policy, introducing measures to reduce
fertilizer application and the restoration of wetlands, resulted in positive effects on water
purifcation services, improved water quality and increased the benefts to society as measured
via monetary valuation.
Yet, reduction rates differed between the different levels (EU and basin scale) suggesting that
the assessment of policy measures is scale-dependent, which in turn justifes our multi-scale
assessment approach.
Introduction
Freshwater aquatic ecosystems, and more specifcally the biotic communities in lakes, rivers and
foodplains, interacting with the waterlogged soils, have the capacity to retain, process and remove
pollutants, sediments and excess nutrients. This water purifcation service reduces the quantity of
pollutants of downstream waters and more importantly to the human settlements in the region, it
contributes to the availability of clean water for multiples uses.
In this chapter, we present four case studies which cover different spatial scales to illustrate how benefts
from water purifcation services can be accounted for using nitrogen as a common water quality indicator
(Figure 2.1).
The starting point of the assessment is a policy change with a focus on the new Common Agricultural
Policy (CAP; EC 2011i) and on a new water policy at EU scale (Blueprint to Safeguard Europes Water
12 A spatial assessment of ecosystem services in Europe: Methods, case studies and policy analysis phase 2. Synthesis report
Resources; EC 2012). A number of specifc policy measures (greening measures under the CAP, nitrogen
reduction measures and river and wetland restoration) were analysed using scenarios of land use
change as a consequence of the policy measures relative to a baseline. Biophysical models were used
to estimate how changing land use affected water purifcation as indicated by nitrogen retention. Finally,
the economic value of the improved water quality, due to the nitrogen removal, was assessed via costs
saved for downstream water treatment and by willingness to pay for clean water.
Figure 2.1. Scenario-based approach for the assessment of water purifcation services at different spatial scales in Europe.
Nitrogen (N) was used as a common water-quality metric.
Results
Table 2.1 summarizes the most important results of the study by showing the direction of change of water
purifcation services delivered by the aquatic ecosystems in a range of scenarios of land use change as
a consequence of the policy measures. The overall conclusion was that greening the CAP, introducing
measures to reduce fertilizer application, and the restoration of wetlands all resulted in increased levels
of the water purifcation services, improved water quality and increased benefts to society as measured
via monetary valuation.
